The source argument specifies which IP address to ping from. This may be required in some circumstances for ping to work as expected. For example, if there is overlap in IP addresses used in the tier 0 and tier 1 router transit subnets, pings from the tier 0 VRF will not reach virtual machines on networks routed by the tier 1 router. If you use the source argument to specify a unique IP used by that VRF (in this case, the tier 0 uplink IP) the pings will reach the virtual machines.
The repeat argument specifies how many ping packets to transmit.
The vrf argument specifies which VRF to send the pings from. You can get a list of available VRFs with the get logical-routers command.
The size argument specifies the size of the ping packet.
